Septic shock is an acute medical and surgical emergency with a devastating mortality rate. It may occur in both debilitated, immunosuppressed patients and young, healthy patients undergoing genitourinary instrumentation. This paper reviews the intricate pathophysiology of septic shock and presents a comprehensive plan for the management of this life-threatening illness.
